Sectra’s Business Analytics offering helps streamline the radiology workflow by providing tools for monitoring the production and performance of PACS and RIS, including analyses of Key Performance Indicators. The offering comprises two components: a storage solution that extracts data from Sectra RIS and PACS and makes the data available for advanced data mining, and a suite of business analytic applications that you can use to analyze and visualize this data.
The business analytic storage solution, Sectra DataWarehouse, is optimized to extract information from Sectra RIS and PACS with minimum operational interference. Advanced data mining queries using department-specific tools can be performed without affecting the live system.
With all production data in one place, you have all accurate information available for decision support and follow-up. Sectra DataWarehouse provides access through standard database connections, and authorized users can perform standard SQL queries.
Sectra’s portfolio of business analytics applications, Sectra BizTrack, contains a set of base applications. These contain the most important and powerful analysis tools for measuring and improving the performance of radiology departments. These tools are created to allow for efficient and simple analysis and visualization of statistics from RIS and PACS to support decision-making. You can identify bottlenecks and anomalies, monitor and streamline the patient flow through the department, as well as measure the effect of implemented changes. It is also possible to monitor workflow efficiency and system behavior, and create reports of desired metrics without specific knowledge of database queries. The data can be exported in CSV or Excel format, making it easy to import into different organization-specific systems. These basic applications are intuitive and require minimum training.
Sectra BizTrack also offer a suite of visualization tools that are designed and developed in cooperation with end users, bringing the knowledge of the radiology department business and Sectra database expertise together in a successful combination. The tools focus on enabling the end user to get a helicopter view of their business, and provide insights and understanding of the day-to-day business—with only a few clicks.
To achieve the most powerful analytical tools, the base applications can be customized to suit the specific analysis needs of your organization. Based on individual requirements and operational environments, it is possible for a consultant or in-house expert to customize reports, measurements and graphs in the basic application, to provide the precise tools needed to ensure efficient decision-making.
